Steeped in history and quiet grandeur, the John M. Holman House, built in 1913, stands as one of Pittsburg’s enduring treasures within it's Historic District. Featured in books and films, this 4,758 square foot residence offers 8 bedrooms and 6.5 baths on a beautifully kept .37 acre lot, where every space tells a story. A plaque at the front hints at its legacy, while the columned porch invites you into a home rich with character. Inside, original pine hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, intricate millwork, and soft, timeless lighting create an atmosphere that feels both elevated and warmly lived in. The grand staircase, adorned with quaint stair runners, leads you upward past the preserved tapestry in the hallway, a rare and beautiful nod to the home’s past. The main level unfolds much like it would have over a century ago, with a gracious parlor and sitting room anchored by wood burning fireplaces, a formal dining room made for gathering, a quiet study, and multiple living spaces that invite conversation and connection. Upstairs, a light filled common area opens to a balcony, offering a peaceful place to pause. With six bedrooms upstairs and two downstairs, the home offers flexibility and charm in equal measure. Four bathrooms are located upstairs, with two full baths and a half bath downstairs. Many of the bedrooms enjoy private or adjoining bath access, and two rooms serve as intimate sitting areas connected to adjoining bedrooms, once used as a private suites during its time as a bed and breakfast. The half bath can be found tucked discreetly beneath the staircase. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with marble countertops, custom cabinetry, a gas range, and stainless appliances, blending seamlessly into the home’s historic soul. Major systems, including HVAC, have been updated to support modern living. Well preserved and rich with history, this is more than a home. It is a place to carry forward a story that has already stood the test of time.
